Mars One Close Read - Assessment

Unit 4: Mars One Project
Lesson 6 of 6

Objective: SWBAT demonstrate their comprehension of the text as they complete the assessment on the article "Reality Series From Lionsgate TV & Roy Bank To Chronicle Mission To Colonize Mars" by Nellie Andreeva.

We have dug deep the last few days into the texts on the Mars One Project. The article we have focused on is "Reality Series From Lionsgate TV & Roy Bank To Chronicle Mission To Colonize Mars" by Nellie Andreeva. Now the kids get the opportunity to show what they have discovered. In this assessment which is included in the resources, I have tried to address the CCSS we have been working with in this unit. I will allow the students to use the article to find their answers. The new end of level testing in Utah requires students to find evidence from the text to support their answers. I am hoping that practicing this with our assessments will make students more comfortable with this form of testing.

Big Idea:
To support your point of view, you must have reasons and evidence (facts, details and information); to understand another person's point of view, you must be able to identify the reasons and evidence he/she provides.
